dont worry about that as its in Jan. Take sun tan lotion, sun glasses a hat, PRS etc etc and they will require you to have a multi million $ winch rope, not wire, what ever the masses deside is the current flavor. :lol:

Will you be taking the Range Rover, the corgies and the wicker picnic basket??? pip pip ol chap :lol:

then agan maybe its a good idea.... Ill ask Scotty and we may pop in and give the R/R and Jaffa Nissan owners a demonstration in agresive driving or teach them some new expletives
'you @#$% get up there you (*$%^&^#R%'
" see I knew you could do it"
And I'll bet they havent had a BBQ cooked on a shovel before

could be fun. But will have to draw the line at a corgi on the shovel as havent got time to gut and hang the meat , maybe next time

Jaffas say "oh shit we are going to die ... but we say.. hold the Woodies watch this for skills " ( thanks for the quote DB)

I see your still suffering from that little insircurrity Good fell'o, all you need to do is admit that the Rangy is better. simple truth
As for colour coordinating your accesserys... "Well..." a gentleman dosn't wear rusty boat shoes now does he, why should his recreational vehicle wear a rusty rope
And your comments about corgis... if one wish'es to keep up with the Jones's, one should know it is dellmations and charpia's now
As for your crass referance to eating one of the Royal breed, my good fello that is just not humerous and comments like that will stop you fitting in with the crowd

:wink:

hmmm almost tempted to keep the rangy

Count me in :roll:

if I can finish the "Lemon" in time, provided nothing else goes wrong with the Paj

Cheers Reece

Hey DJ looks like I might be taking the rover along

I'm back to my last going truck :lol:

I'll bring the picnic basket and scones if you bring the shovel and woody's :wink:

Cheers Reece

Hey DJ looks like I might be taking the rover along

you have aurged my case very well ... you are taking the rangi over as a last resort!!!! what more can you say!!! except thanx

yes I dont mine scones and Ill bring the shovel because after lunch with tea and hot buttered scones with rasberry and cucumber sandwiches we can use it for burrying the dead corgie carriers :lol:

look, Reese bring the wounded Mits, Ill tow you, I cant let you degrade yourself. Or if you bring the mangle mower you will still have to be towed.

DJ you sounds like youre in the know

to quote Sargent Scholts( Hogans Heros)
"I know nothing"
but if you around these here parts look us up I m sure we can find a track or two. Mid Jan i could be in the south island harassing a complete new feild of Nissan and Mange rover drivers ( who in their right mind would own up owning one ) :lol:

LMAO designed by mad dogs of englishman, eletrics by Lucas prince of darkness, motor stolen from buick then "improved" by the mad dogs then buick had to un inprove them to make them go, the list gets better & better the only way they could sell them was to give a queen one so her mutts had somewhere to have a dump after the scones!!!!

PS... Im test driving the woodies NOW !!! BLUES BEST SO FAR BUT I'LL HAVE TO CHECK AGAIN

De-Ranged · Post by **De-Ranged** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 10:16 pm

My good chap are you infering that the range rover could not keep up?? Why I do believe that is a challenge......... looser supplies scones and woodies (or maybe earl grey!!!!!!) :lol:

I'll be doing the damdest to get one of the other lemons going before then though.............. :wink:

My good chap are you infering that the range rover could not keep up??

keep up!! ... Ill be impressed if it got there.. why do u insist on backing a poo transporter thats endrosed by a queen when you are trying to a Jappa ready it just dont make sense!! challage you say!! hell yea !!! you can even set the rules and the place please check to confirm a large woodie stock and do they come in big cans?

as for the rules dont pray for rain and the morning of gorgies it will not help

one should know it is dellmations and charpia's

.. what do they taste like? ... do you fry or bake them?

I've got a bit of a soft spot for the ole Rover its just so reliable :lol:

don't start.... I know they aren't known for this, I must just have a good en
for over 6 months its sat in the paddic next to home, I put a fresh battery in it last night

and it started first turn of the key!!!
You try that with all your superior engineering and your fancy jap pocket rocket :wink:

and see how many battery's you drain before it starts

I could just about talk myself into keeping the ole girl :lol:

Cheers Reece

wopass · Post by **wopass** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 2:06 pm

very tempting, supposed to be going out to Kimmys motor cross park tomorrow to do some training.... will see what happens. how many of you going ?? how far you going ?? what time you going ??

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 2:44 pm

4 of us at this stage.
Me, Dwayne, a guy down the road from Dwayne's farm that's got a reasonably well hunting set up Disco, and i guy i meet a couple of weeks ago at a HMCC meeting that reckons he's got a SWB safari lifted, winch and Swampers.

Should be reasonably tricky, but do-able as it's dry. More fun that last time was anyway, there's some big holes and new by passes been made since then!!!! Not gonna go down the other side as turing round is an issue.
Well that's the plan anyways.
If you were keen i may follow you down the other side a bit. You could be the guinee pig :wink:

I gotta go to Auckland in the evening to see a couple of bands play so it'l be a morning early/afternoon mission.

I'm expecting plenty of winching and rev's required. Can't wait!!!!!!

txt you in the morning if im in :wink:
